Overview
Be part of Youth Corps Singapore A division of the National Youth Council, Youth Corps Singapore (YCS) champions youth volunteerism nationwide in Singapore, empowering and supporting young Singaporeans to ignite positive change and make impactful difference in society. We are a national movement of young people with strong espirit de corps and service ethos, harnessing the optimism of young people, the passion of community partners and the transformative power of service learning to serve and build cohesive and inclusive communities. Join us to discover if Youth Engagement is your cup of tea In some of our recent conversations with our youths, one of the questions that we have repeatedly been asked is “how to find an area of passion and purpose in my work”. The desire for purposeful work is a universal need. We all want to feel and know that our work matters and makes a difference. At Youth Corps, we are passionate about Youth and Community Development. Join us on this one-year journey to find out for yourself if Youth Engagement is your area of passion. The Engagement Team at Youth Corps is looking for dynamic individuals to champion youth volunteerism. The team manages the youth volunteer journey from recruitment, engagement and recognition of Youth Corps Leaders and Members via online and face to face platforms. The team also build partnerships and collaborations with local and overseas partners to develop and curate programmes, partnerships, and platforms to sustain a vibrant community of youths seeking to contribute back to society. Believing in building the larger youth volunteerism eco-system, we support our youth clusters and affiliates by connecting youth leaders and young changemakers to networks and resources to create multipliers for their volunteerism efforts.
